What I was getting at was the sort option. In the preview window (Or
view folder, doesn't matter) you see all you (threaded) messages with
columns denoting valuable information. Which column you see depends on
your choice (View/Columns).
Normally you will find (and need) among else the columns "Created" and
"Received". To show the most recent messages at the top you change the
sorting order of either one of those columns. One way is to click on
the column's heading, the other one is by going to the menu View/Sort
by/Creation Time *and* checking Descending Order.
Now you will have the most recent messages at the top with the obvious
downside that you follow the threads in the wrong order - getting
answers before the question.

No, I didn't suggest a text file because of size (AFAIR size doesn't
matter, at least with TB!). It was a suggestion of tidying up. I am
not a great archiver myself, most e-mails are deleted at once,
sometimes they stay for a few days. An exception are my sceptic's
newsletter by Michael Shermer and Robert Park's What's New?.
With an exported text file you won't have to worry about scrolling to
much since your TBUDL folder would (on a weekly basis) only contain
around 300 messages; on a daily basis you would have around 50 to 60.
As for searching, the search functions of text editors and word
processors are quite capable. there may even be strategies to enhance
searching for a specific message.
BTW, you know that the messages are more or less instantly archived by
Marck?
